My little V12v is safely home

[vpr]

So, just collected this new to me V12, as soon as I started the car to leave the dealership it started to rain..

Still I managed the 6 miles home.

Quick Silver secondary decats fitted and I removed fuse 22...BUT

I'm sure 22 removal hasn't done anything. Am I right in thinking it's the one nearest the back of the car in the boot?

It's just that it doesn't really bark until it hits 4k. It burbles nicely on tickover then goes quiet.

Handbook said 22 exhaust flap.

4C only picked up on Monday and 200 mile journey home on the motorway. Not used it since.

nice, is that ultramarine?

What?

[vpr]

Reading elsewhere it might seem that contrary to the handbook it could indeed be fuse 15 (fat lot of good)

Picture here, how are they numbered, I'm confused as I thought 22 was left row bottom but could it be last fuse on the right??

So in which case which is 15?

What an absolute swede I am.

Thanks so much guys, didn't see those numbers.

I wonder what i did affect with taking 22 out, probably nothing

I'll look into a remote gadget too.

Thx

Hi VPR ..... is this off timeless and which one was it that was for sale...is it the Birmingham one with a couple of thousand miles on it?

It was fresh in at Sevenoaks, they didn't have time to advertise it. 7000 miles 2013 manual car

Never bothered with removing the fuse as I always drive with the Sport Button pressed

Much better throttle response and that great sound from the V12 when pressing on and of course a lovely burble when you back off the throttle

Sport button and fuse removal are different in terms of flaps opening I believe

Beautiful car... does it have the lightweight seats or standard?

No unfortunately... I don't wanna talk about it 😪

Every car I found with them wasn't right for me. It was my first "must have" option. Gave up looking and centred on mikes and condition.

Thanks, I do have it on the Register from when it was for sale in July 2014 at AM Cambridge. A very nice high spec car with all the CF goodies

There's my V12V Register topic on here, possible a page behind this topic. I have 755 of the 1199 listed. It's not available for public viewing currently, but I can usually provide answers to specific questions, i.e. how many Carbon blacks for e.g.

Ok cool. Current reg is 300 C.

I'm guessing it's not a carbon pack though there's a fair bit on it??

Do you know how many UK cars were built?

The latter cars had the option of interior and exterior carbon packs, reversing camera, black exhaust tips, black meshes, black vaned grille, glass switches and yours has all of those!
I'll try and work out how many uk cb's there are.

Ok I though a CP might have it plastered on the door entry plate or something. My DBS is a Carbon Black and thinknit says it somewhere
